LOST!

As you can see there has been a distinct lack of posting here in December! Apart from the obvious secrecy of my creations over the last few weeks (all my Christmas gifts) I've had a great trauma - I'VE LOST MY CAMERA! It had all my recent photos still on it as I hadn't even had time to download during the last frantic few days before Christmas, and all the family photos taken over the holiday. So as you can expect I'm very upset about it!
So what to post? Well I do have a photo of the Christmas theme ATCs I made for the Passion for Papertrey swap. I used the Made of Snow set for my snowman and the wreath is from Believe. He's coloured with my beloved Copics and has silver wire arms with his red mittens glued on. The border punch is a Martha Stewart design. Thanks so much to the other swappers for the lovely designs I received back. I love them all and look forward to another swap soon.

A Birthday Tenner

I haven't been able to post for the last couple of weeks or so but I have been busy even though I'm away from home for about half the week. I've lots of 'work-in- progress' secret things on the go for Christmas - don't know how I'll finish everything! Anyway I had to make a couple of birthday cards this week and I can show them here as the recipients certainly won't be reading this blog......

This is my take on Aime's wonderful PTI prize-winning card. I thought this was absolutely brilliant creation when I saw it and filed the idea away for the right birthday girl its her birthday next week. Like Aimes I used Papertrey's On My Couch stamp set, plus Copics and SU's twill tape - which is great for stamping on. I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out.
